“It seems the only thing that Bahraini officials have learned to do after any incident in the island is pinning the blame on Iran,” Qassemi said in a statement on Sunday.

“They should know that the era of making such absurd and false statements and the time of playing such childish blame-games has come to an end.”

Qassemi pointed out that Iran has always stressed the Islamic Republic’s security and stability depends on the security and stability of all its neighbouring states and “we will remain committed to this principle”.
